Settings
server.cfg settings configured by the generator
The RedM server.cfg generator covers 14 FXServer cvars across three areas. Here you can see each cvar's default value, values allowed in the generator, and effect on your RedM server.
Server identity
| cvar | Default | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| sv_hostname | Default: ZAP-Hosting RedM Server | Values: Free text | Your server's hostname. The RedM server list displays the project name instead. |
| sv_projectName | Default: ZAP-Hosting RedM Server | Values: Free text | Your server's name in the RedM server list, shown when connecting and in Discord Rich Presence. |
| sv_projectDesc | Default: A RedM roleplay server hosted with ZAP-Hosting | Values: Free text | One-line description for the server list and Discord Rich Presence. |
| tags | Default: default | Values: Free text | Comma-separated tags players can filter by in the server browser, such as roleplay, western, whitelist. |
| locale | Default: root-AQ | Values: root-AQ / en-US / de-DE / fr-FR / es-ES / pl-PL / pt-BR | Language and region identifier in the server browser. Informational only; it doesn't translate anything in-game. |
Capacity & sync
| cvar | Default | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| sv_maxclients | Default: 32 | Values: 1–1024 | Maximum number of concurrent players. More than 32 slots require OneSync; values well above 128 need a sufficiently powerful server. |
| onesync | Default: on | Values: off / on / legacy | Entity sync between players. “on” is the default and required for more than 32 players; “off” limits the server to 32 players; “legacy” is an outdated compatibility mode. |
Access & security
| cvar | Default | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| sv_licenseKey | Default: — | Values: secret, masked | Links the server to your Cfx.re account and is required for it to go online. Get one free at portal.cfx.re with RedM as the target platform. |
| rcon_password | Default: — | Values: secret, masked | Enables the classic remote console. Leave blank to disable RCON; most servers manage admin permissions through txAdmin and ACE instead. |
| steam_webApiKey | Default: none | Values: secret, masked | For players connecting with their Steam ID, such as for Steam-based bans or whitelists. Available for free at steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey. |
| sv_pureLevel | Default: 0 | Values: 0 / 1 / 2 | Asset integrity level: 0 allows modified game files, 1 blocks modified client files except audio files, 2 blocks virtually all client-side modifications. Higher levels may also block ReShade or add-on packs. |
| sv_scriptHookAllowed | Default: 0 | Values: 0 / 1 | Allows Scripthook-based client plugins such as Lambda Menu. Not recommended for public servers, as it opens the door to trainers and cheats. |
| sv_endpointprivacy | Default: 1 | Values: 0 / 1 | Hides players' IP addresses in the public server info API, including the server list and external tools. Best left enabled. |
| sv_lan | Default: 0 | Values: 0 / 1 | LAN discovery only, with no listing in the public Cfx.re server list. Useful only for local testing. |
Good to know
- The generator doesn't set ports (endpoint_add_tcp/udp), ensure lines for VORP, RSG Core, or RedEM:RP, or resource-specific values such as a database connection string. Add these yourself.
- When you import an existing server.cfg, the generator loads recognized values into the form. On export, it appends all other lines, such as your ensure lines, to the end of the file. Comment lines starting with // are omitted.
- Your license key, RCON password, and Steam Web API Key are masked in the form, never included in the share link, and not sent to the AI in Easy Mode.
- FXServer reads server.cfg only on startup. Restart the server after uploading it.
Guide
How to create your RedM server.cfg
From your first setting to the restart: here's how to configure your RedM server with the generator.
- 1
Step 1
Open generator
Open the RedM server.cfg generator. The default RedM server.cfg is already loaded in the live preview.
- 2
Step 2
Import existing server.cfg
Optionally, import your current server.cfg by pasting it or uploading a .cfg or .txt file up to 2 MB. Recognized values appear in the form; other lines are preserved when you export, including comments starting with #. Comment lines starting with // are dropped.
- 3
Step 3
Describe your server in Easy Mode
In Easy Mode, describe the server you want in your own words or click a suggestion, such as a whitelisted Western RP server for a small group of friends. Review the AI's suggestions and apply only those that fit.
- 4
Step 4
Set identity and capacity
In Advanced Mode, set the server name, project name, description, tags, locale, maximum player count, and OneSync mode. OneSync stays “on” for more than 32 Slots.
- 5
Step 5
Set access and security options
Enter your license key from portal.cfx.re. If needed, set an RCON password, Steam Web API Key, asset integrity level, Scripthook permissions, IP masking, and LAN mode.
- 6
Step 6
Check the live preview and export
Check server.cfg in the live preview, where changed values are highlighted. Then copy or download it, or share your settings via a link without keys or passwords.
- 7
Step 7
Upload and restart server
Upload server.cfg to your server's root directory next to the resources folder, add your framework's ensure lines, and restart the server. FXServer only reads the file on startup.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the RedM server.cfg generator
File location, OneSync, license key, frameworks, Easy Mode, and security—quick answers.
In your server's root directory, next to the resources folder. On a ZAP-Hosting server, you can open and edit it using the file manager in the panel.
No. Copying or downloading the file doesn't change your server yet. Upload it as server.cfg and restart the server, because FXServer reads it only at startup.
Yes, for more than 32 players. “on” is the default and recommended setting in the generator. “off” limits the server to 32 players; “legacy” is an outdated compatibility mode. The generator accepts sv_maxclients values from 1 to 1024. For significantly more than 128 Slots, you need a sufficiently powerful server.
Available for free at portal.cfx.re; select RedM as the target platform. The key links the server to your Cfx.re account and is required to bring it online. Do not share it publicly.
Yes. The generator only sets FXServer's own cvars for identity, capacity, OneSync, access, and security. It does not touch ensure lines, ports, or framework settings such as a database connection string; you add your framework's resources yourself afterward. If you import an existing server.cfg, its ensure lines are preserved on export.
Describe the server you want in your own words or click a suggestion. The AI suggests suitable values and explains each change. Only your selected and confirmed changes are applied.
Your license key, RCON password, and Steam Web API Key are masked in the form and never included in the share link. The link contains only non-secret values you've changed from the defaults. Easy Mode doesn't send these three values to the AI either.
Yes. The form, Easy Mode, import, copying, downloading, and sharing work without an account. server.cfg is generated directly in your browser. Only Easy Mode sends your description and non-secret values to an AI, and it has a short rate limit to prevent excessive requests.
